Filters give Designers an easy way to execute common logic on a list of potential targets. Filters are executed IN ORDER, so try to put any "expensive" (i.e. Custom) filters at the end (so they run on a much smaller set of targets).
This filter will remove (or keep) any Actors that do not inherit from the provided class.
Filter Properties
- Class
- The class to check all Actors against.
- Negate
- If true, this filter will only keep Actors that inherit from the provided class, rather than exclude them.
This filter doesn't actually filter anything out, but is meant to be arrange the data so that it can be manipulated by other filters. For example, if you only wanted the closest (up to) 3 Actors, you would run this filter and then follow it up with a Max Targets filter set to 3.
Filter Properties
- Sort Direction
- Ascending
- The entities will be sorted nearest to furthest.
- Descending
- The entities will be sorted furthest to nearest.
- Ascending
This filter limits the number of Actors that can be returned.
Filter Properties
- Max Targets
- The maximum amount of Actors we can have, anything above this number is discarded.

This filter will call into the Ability's IsValidForActor Blueprint Event for each Actor under consideration. If the event returns false, the Actor is culled.
Filter Properties
- Event Name
- Optional Name Identifier that is passed in with the call into the Blueprint Event.
- Use Async
- If true, the system will spread the work of evaluating each actor over multiple cores (if available).
